Eric Holder confirmed as attorney general

Despite some Republican opposition, the Senate on Monday approved Eric Holder as attorney general in a 75-21 vote.
Republicans slowed Holder's nomination in the Judiciary Committee and briefly on the Senate floor due to concerns about his role in controversial pardons during the Clinton administration and about whether Holder would push prosecution of intelligence officials.
Holder is a former U.S. attorney and deputy attorney general.
